Does anyone have any experience with the Barnet Vortex hunter, I like the price as a first "real" bow for my youngest girl. The draw weight of 45-70 with a 60-70% let off works and the draw length of 21-27 inches works as well.
Of course it changes depending on how much preload is left or already put into the limb. But, a good approximate rule is about 3# for every complete turn. Just be careful to adhere to the manufactures warning on how many turns you can take out of the limb bolt. I've had heli-coils let loose before...not much fun!
Ok Thanks! they didn't give much instructions on it but I guess I'll have to go to there site and look into it.

If so then there should be little worry about backing the limbs off. You can see where the limb bolt comes out of that black steel rod mounted in the handle. I doubt you will ever get there, but you should be able to back that bolt all the way to a point where the bolt is flush with that rod. That likely is the 15# lower end. The bow won't feel or shoot very well at 15#, but it should be safe. I expect with your build you should be able to start closer to the 25-30# range without difficulty. And you will be up to 40# in no time!If you are at 40# now and the bow is rated to 15# you should be able to back it off three full turns easily. Just watch the end of that bolt stopping if it looks like it will disappear into that black rod.
